Mr.Topwater!

My wife says that during ice fishing season, I don't pay attention to her. At least I think that's what she said.

You boil the hell out of it.

I hate being bi polar. It's awesome.

BURT! Hello. Store manager BP says they have 0 one man thermals. I gave up there. Found Frabill Commando on Amazon $503 - FREE SHIPPING!! I hope you get this post. Thanks for your generous offer and Merry Christmas. P.S. It's the thermal one, only 4 left!!

If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Thanks. Early Christmas present!

Talked me into it. Next time I'll keep a few. I love fish!

Hello, Burt. Wow, I would really appreciate that. I was at Sail opening day. They have no thermal huts(I'm looking at 1-2 man thermal flip). The 3 I saw online are not available at Vaughan(why would you need them in Canada,eh?) Also Bass Pro doesn't ship store to store to Canada. I found out on BP online chat. Thanks.

There are three types of people. Those who can count, and those who can't.

I like bass pro. If I'm at the store. Online is a different story. I want to buy a hut in Vaughan, but good luck trying to find out which ones they actually carry in store. I would like to research the options before I hand over $500. I guess I have to make the trip from Kitchener. (boo hoo)

Are they any good to eat?

I don't want to. I don't have to. You can't make me. I'm retired

LOL indeed.

Well, there's only one cure for that............

Howdy. Do you guys know if BP has a yearly sale on shelters?

Tomcat has a good point. Pay down debt! Increase mortgage payments, Tax free savings account , every bit helps. These are obvious points. Or you could quit your job, become a guide, and NEVER retire!

C Tire $69. Warm enough for 1 man thermal hut?

Ice fishermen walk on water.

To work after retirement is fine for some guys. As long as you you WANT to do it! To me, work fascinates me- I can sit and watch it all day.

Fish a stream or fish a lake?

After 30 yrs., retired. Ah yes, retirement. Now my toughest decision is where to go fishing today.

Thanks everyone. Some really good advise and some clever builds. Mr.Topwater!

Hello from Kitchener! Anyone know a site for easy sled build? I'm not the most handiest. Thanks.

They are legal. The bend of the rod provides hookset, NOT a spring.

Just bought 2. Are their any artificial baits that can be used (hair jigs maybe? How would you impart any action? Bring on the ice!
